Hello and welcome back for another quick report on the progress of my
next DVD release.

Production Update:

I have been working very hard on my latest
Epcot 25th Anniversary title Jeff Lange Remembers Epcot ‘After Dark’
. The two discs have been layed out and final editing has begun. I have
spent the last few days working on photo restoration, color correction
and dust removal for the Epcot ‘After Dark’ sideshow that concludes disc
two. During the search through my photo archives I came across the
following two images of the original IllumiNations globe and
fountain screen.

Below is one of my favorite beauty shots of the France Pavilion
at sunset plus the current ‘IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth‘
Finale (Once again courtesy of Denise from
MouseSteps).

Finally the last few photos of this update are from the original
IllumiNations which is presented on my upcoming DVD shot from
multiple angles to fully capture every nuance of this
Epcot Center classic!

Please check back soon for more details and release information (I hope
to have this completed and released by the end of the week!).

Hello and welcome back for a quick update of what I have been working on
for my next release.

Production Update:

I have started production on a new project that is very special to me (I
have not had this much fun on a title since
Horizons). My upcoming all new
Epcot’s 25th Anniversary DVD will feature my favorite time at the park ‘
Epcot After Dark‘. I am a huge fan of these productions and had
forgotten how cool some of them were.

Segments to be included on the 2-Disc set are both ‘Tapestry of
Nations‘ and it’s replacement ‘Tapestry of Dreams‘ (photos of
both above).

I am also trying to include as many variations of the classic World
Showcase nighttime fireworks as possible! I plan to include ‘
Laserphonic Fantasy‘, The original ‘Illuminations‘ shot from
multiple cameras, ‘Illuminations 25‘ both A and B versions and
the opening version of ‘Illuminations 2000: Reflections of Earth‘
from 1999. (Thanks to Denise from
MouseSteps for providing the great Illuminations photos above).

I am still deciding on what to include as I have a wealth of footage to
sort through. I do plan to feature some vintage nighttime fountain
footage and atmosphere to round out the set. Please check back soon for
progress updates and release information and thanks for your patience as
I make this the very best program on the subject that I can!
